Please note that if you put the brush in the case before it is completely dry, bacteria may grow, causing odor and, in rare cases, skin problems. .If the brush becomes unusable, purchase a new one. .If you use a powder foundation without washing a brush that has been used with liquid or cream foundation, the surface of the foundation may harden and become unusable, so do not use them together. .For Anessa foundation, please use the dedicated sponge sold separately.
